[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my culture, children care for their aging parents except for the more serious cases. I am a bit disturbed that so many Americans leave their parents to be cared for by strangers (for decades!) and their children to be raised by strangers too (nannies). Smh.

The sad fact is that most families need two incomes to get by these days.  Women are giving their labor to corporations and simply aren’t available to provide labor at home like the did in the past.

I come from an immigrant family and my mother cared for two elderly relatives in our home until their last few months when they needed a higher level of care than she could provide and they went to nursing homes.  [/quote]

In my “disturbing” American experience, my mother with dementia almost (accidentally) burned down and flooded her assisted living apartment, among countless other safety issues,  so I’m sure you can understand why I can’t keep my young elementary kids and her safe in my own home. [/quote]
